My wife's is a similar age and mileage and it runs great and still does 40mpg average.
Can't recommend it enough.
These Micra's are also really cheap to run and insure, this seems local-ish too.

Insurance groups dont seem to be all about the size, mostly, but not all.
Skoda Fabia Seems a good bet, bit more metal and still group 5 insurance.

And Autotrader shows insurance groups.
Just looked up my Clio... Group 31... Didnt even realize they went that high :/
